[PATCH] Performance Stats: Kernel patch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Changes:

Names are renamed to task_context_switch_rates.




Patch makes available to the user the following
task and process performance statistics:
	* Involuntary Context Switches (task_struct->nivcsw)
	* Voluntary Context Switches (task_struct->nvcsw)
	           
Statistics information is available from:
	1. taskstats interface (Documentation/accounting/)
	2. /proc/PID/status (task only).

This data is useful for detecting hyperactivity
patterns between processes.
